theduffys Posted August 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2017 On the Kdam last year and the Noordam this year there were charging stations on the bedside table. Is that also the case on the Prinsendam? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted August 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not in cabin 303 four years ago. It may have been updated since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Those are called USB plugs, used for charging. Unlikely they will be on Prisendam, unless they were added at a recent drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmies Posted August 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The bedside USB charging stations were part of the $300M suite upgrade process that Holland America announced last year. Prinsendam is not listed as one of the ships that will receive these suite upgrades. From a press release: First up to receive the new suite accommodations will be the Eurodam during its December 7-20, 2015 refit and the Oosterdam during its April 3-18, 2016 dry-dock followed by the Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam, and Noordam. The Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Volendam and Zaandam will also receive the new suites during their respective dry-docks scheduled across the next few years.

It isn't just suites that got the extra USB ports during drydocks, so not sure if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that also the case on the Prinsendam?Thanks. I disembarked from the Prinsendam a month ago. There was no USB charging station in my Vista suite on the ship.

Toofarfromthesea Posted August 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2017 As a workaround I have a 4-port USB device with a european-style plug which allows me to use the European style outlet for all my USB charging without taking up the US Outlets which are now free for other uses.

Rare cruzin4us Posted August 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Does anyone know if they have USB charging outlets in the retreat cabins? Specifically the Family retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted August 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Does anyone know if they have USB charging outlets in the retreat cabins? Specifically the Family retreat.This thread is about the Prinsendam, which doesn't have cabanas. Suggest you ask on the "Cabana Questions" thread:http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2533554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 17, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Does anyone know if they have USB charging outlets in the retreat cabins? Specifically the Family retreat. Been in the cabanas on Noordam, Eurodam, N. Amsterdam and Koningsdam. None have USB power outlets. IIRC, only KDAM has (standard) power outlets in the cabanas.

theduffys Posted August 19, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thanks everyone. Guess i will go get one of those multiple USB ports and bring my Euro plug. It was just so convienent to charge and read at the same time in bed. BTW these were both veranda rooms, not suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
